Another Innocent will be Hanged on 12th March 2008

Here is an appeal by ANAA. Caveat I have not heard of this case before but you can read the ANAA report and decide for yourself.t

ANAA condemns the death sentence of Mr. Zahid Masih as it is alleged that proper investigation of the case was not done and he was not given proper legal representation.

AHRC has done a great service by bringing this issue to the public.

Please send the appeal to appropriate people as suggested by AHRC.
